   Great food. Friendly, attentive service. A beautiful view of the hill country at sunset. This is our go-to place for special occasions and it never disappoints.

   Always enjoy their brunch. Food options are plenty and very good quality. Views from the deck of Lake Travis are a winner also.

   We were seated outside without any protection from the sun. As a result, my food was cooked again from the heat of the sun.

   Lines too long for buffet, they needed more staff per station to speed up the lines. Seriously 10-15 minutes we waited at the two stations on the left. That was the only problem, food was great.

   Service not as attentive as usual. Waiting on water refills, bread. Two of us. Both had meat undercooked. Sent back to cook medium (medium rare too bloody in center). Came back well done instead of medium. No pink anywhere. Did not complain. Very disappointed.

   I don’t generally write reviews but I feel like I’m giving back to society with this one. We eat out a lot. We know good food. You will not find it here. The steaks were mediocre, at best. The entire establishment needs a major overhaul. Before even entering the front doors, we noticed their planters were filled with plastic flowers. Eesh. We arrived at 4:15 and asked to sit outside. They said that was fine as long as we were willing to spend $50 per seat. We ended up spending $100 per seat but the rule alone was so tacky it should have been enough to turn us away. Even still, we had made the drive for this place and I couldn’t bear to sit inside with the old nasty carpet smell so outside we went. Btw, there was only one other table occupied when we arrived and only a handful of tables occupied when we left but their seats are SO valuable, you know? As far as our order goes, two of us were going to split one of the larger, signature entrées that cost a premium amount but were told there was a $10 split charge. We had already purchased a nice bottle of wine and were buying sides to go along but again, this rule was just annoying so we changed our order altogether. It’s a principle thing for me. I cannot stand when restaurants act cheap, especially not very good restaurants. The food arrived and every single thing was just so basic. Nothing at all was impressive. The best thing we had was the wine, the view, and the company. Even the bag for our leftovers was one of those cheap white plastic bags that say THANK YOU in red block letters. You know, the kind you would get from a convenient store? I think that sums it up. +cons: a long hair on our tablecloth, one of the napkins had gross black stuff all over it, also a dirty fork we put to the side. Oh, and the table next to us had an unsecured umbrella lift up and whack the side of her head. But as cheap as this restaurant acts with all their extra charges, I would be shocked if they comped anything for her.

   Don’t get me wrong, the food was pretty amazing. The hostess at the front were very kind and serving. But when it came to our waiter, the service she provided was less than average. We didn’t know how to dress or what to expect, so me and my boyfriend came in jeans, shorts, and tshirts. We opted to sit inside due to the long outside. As soon as we sat down, our waiter had her mind set that we probably wouldn’t tip good because we don’t look like we have money. She was inattentive to us the whole night. And we could clearly see her giving all her attention to her other tables that looked more wealthy. Very disappointed in the service. Gave her a good tip even though she didn’t work for it. Will not be back.

    Had a great first time overall! My only complaint was our waiter didn’t check on us; didn’t offer refills, and we had to track down in order to pay to leave. He was very observant to the table next to us however we got treated like we weren’t paying guest! The food was Sunday buffet brunch and it was absolutely amazing!

    The greeter & table assigner at the front entrance was the nicest, happiest great mood setter young lady I’ve ever encountered!! she made me smile !! Our steak meals were incredible!! The best steak was the cowboy bonein ribeye with Pittsburgh finish ! The service was excellent with minimal wait time for our Lucious meal:) dessert of bread pudding & bananas foster cooked table side was delicious!! The only downside was while we thoroughly enjoyed the cool outside air, thebans was too loud so we couldn’t have a conversation & our family visit time ; The band was very good but too loud to visit :/

    Even though I made the reservation over 2 weeks ago they sat us at a table in the bar like we were overflow. Our “servers” for the night were 3 different bartenders who seemed to be in a competition of who could ignore us the most. I’m not a difficult person who expects a server to “serve” me. My expectations are extremely reasonable. I spent decades working in restaurants of all levels. I know the ropes, I know the deal. I had my fair share of difficult customers. I go out of my way to not be one. Last nights service was the worst I’ve ever experienced. I would think a 3-top spending over $400 would get at least minimal service level. I would not call staring at dirty app plates and empty drink glasses for 30 minutes an acceptable level of service in any restaurant. That’s just one example of the night. The was food was very good. That was the only positive part of the night.

    Can't miss with Steiner Ranch Steakhouse. Took my 17 year old son there last night. Sat outside and enjoyed the views of Lake Travis. My son was super impressed with the chicken fried elk which was tender and flavorful. We'll be back.

    Horrible. Overpriced for a holiday buffet, and were seated on the 3rd floor which made it so inconvenient as one elevator which ran extremely slow. The stairs were too thin that you had to wait if someone was coming down or up the stairs at the same time. Ambiance on 3rd floor was horrible. Felt like no view when you sat down you could only see the sky. Felt like you were in a prison. Won't ever go back. Food is just mediocre. They don't try and accommodate and it's just not worth $50 per person at all. I won't recommend to anyone at all. Not worth it at all.

    Overcrowded and loud leaving us feeling like herded cows. Seated 3 floors away from the buffet made it extremely difficult with kids. Disappointed a nice restaurant couldn’t make me a expresso martini. Too busy pushing big batch cocktails and weak mimosas.

    We went there for Mother’s Day. This was our first visit since COVID, this place used to be excellent and our food was consistently good in the past, we had been there for several brunches. This visit was disappointing. The food used to be self-serve but this is no longer the case. I can understand the need to monitor food servings to prevent waste but the food is left without lids and there are no heat lamps above the food so parts of our meals were cold. The scrambled eggs used to taste freshly scrambled but now they are grainy and watery, appeared to be the prepackaged eggs like you sometimes get in motels. The ham slice I got was from the edge so was mainly rind. The waitress was very pleasant but seldom available. Our past experiences with wait staff constantly monitoring to make sure coffee cups were not empty was not what we experienced at this visit. All in all, an expensive but marginal meal. Unless I hear that things have changed, will likely not return again.

    Steak was flavorful and view was nice. Great for watching the sunset. One of our favorite steakhouses is Maestros. The prices at Steiner for steak and wine were right up there, but it’s definitely missing the elevated Maestros experience. Don’t see it being a repeat for us.

    It was good. We had the sea bass which was delicious. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 star is because of the dessert. Bananas Foster is a fav of my husband and I but never have we had it made with a bic lighter. The taste was not good. Never, ever should such a classic dessert be made in this manner. It really should be removed from the menu if it’s not going to be done properly.

    For the kind of restaurant Steiner Ranch is, I expected more from the wait staff. Very slow service and not very attentive. Also, the table we were sat at was not great. The tables on the patio were so crowded. We were squeezed into a table between the little half wall and other tables. It was so tight that to get to my chair, I had to squeeze between our table and guests at the table next to ours and I brushed someone sitting. As we sat at our table for 4, one of our chairs and the table next to ours actually touched continuously while people sat. The food was really good. I wish the service and ambiance was as good.

    I don't know if it was our waiter's first high end job, but it sure seemed like it. We went for dinner after a stressful week and they sat us in a room with several other full tables. We kept seeing waiters go to other tables but not ours. No one greeted us after we were seated. The hostess had given us menus but not a wine list. After about 10 minutes my husband went to the bar to get a wine list and on the way back he asked a waiter if she knew who was waiting on our table and she said "that might be me." ??? It took her forever to bring our bottle of wine, then she broke the cork opening the bottle so my husband finished opening the bottle for her. The wine list was fabulous and overall the food was excellent, except they overcooked my husband's steak after undercooking it the first time. We won't be rushing back.
